Күн бұрын

This house is incredibly historic, built in 1850 for a wealthy family! Just 14 years later after it was built, a small civil war battle occurred in the front yard of this house. The family was forced to take shelter in the basement of the house as the battle went on outside. The battle resulted ina Union victory and the house was taken over as headquarters and even used as a field hospital. In the early 1900’s a First Lady visited the house and described it as absolutely beautiful. I’d share more specific details but would like to keep the house safe! Thank you for watching!

But unfortunately certain factions that control our government, media and banking industry don't want us to know about our history. Because it was much better than what we have now (since this certain faction took over the FED in 1913). If interested in who these people are, just read Revelation 2:9 and 3:9.

Just think how much it would cost today to heat this place with those high ceilings and huge single pane unreplaceable windows I am sure the whole house would need rewiring, etc, etc.

That’s amazing about the summers and the being moved out there since it was cooler. Not sure about the humidity. Here in California where I live in the Sierras a friend told me they did that in the summers too and that is why some of the older houses had large porches or balconies. He told me his grandparents and the grandchildren all slept outside. Makes sense.

What a beautiful & unique house. Judging by the clawfoot tub , Cast iron sink & 1920s toilet being stored on the third floor, the bathroom probably was added to the house in 1920s, with the original toilet being replaced by the 1970s American Standard Cadet that is currently in the bathroom during the 1970s, I wonder what the purpose was of the metal cabinet built in to one of the radiators in the basement. This house should definitely be saved & restored.

And we are a married couple both age 72. We’ve been married 54 years come June. My husband was drafted in 1967, right during the Vietnam War. But by the Grace of God he was sent to Germany and I was able to go over and be with him. We were in a tiny little town called Budingen, in an apartment found for us by a taxi driver named Frenchie who befriended my husband. Frenchie was friends with another taxi driver named Heinrich Kern who had the apartment available so Frenchie snagged it for us. Lol. It was in the second story of Mr. Kern’s garage and there was one other apartment up there lived in by a little German lady whose name was Frau Papa. We shared the bathroom on the landing with her. She crocheted, embroidered, etc. and she gave us several items during our stay that she had made. She was just wonderful. Still have them, of course, and they are treasured still. It was a lovely little town and your country is beautiful. We loved it. All the best and stay healthy over there.

Fantastic! Take me there on a warmer day. The cast iron door reminds me of the one in our basement when I was a kid living in New York it was our coal bin door. The guy would come with a truck and the truck had a long arm with a few bends, or elbows if you will. The guy grabbed and yanked the door swung it open and set the end inside. Now, in your video you showed the basement with a cement ramp. Ours had a ramp. Inside the door sat a big wheel barrow. It was filled and the guy closed the door and left a note rolled up in the handle of the door. I loved watching the process. I was in the basement one day hiding and the coal was let in and I turned black from the smoke. My mother was so mad at me for dirtying my clothes n hair.

So much to this house. The first room would have been for reception of guests the second for family as the most ornate fireplace was for prestige. They downgraded the fireplace as guests wouldn’t see it. The bedrooms also had plain fireplaces. The metal box in the porch stairwell was the old fuse box for electrical. The first floor porch was for summer sleeping if the house was too hot. If you check these old houses carefully you will find there are small doors on either sides of the windows with a small knob and blinds would fold out and create privacy and block afternoon sunlight.

Hi Kappy, I've noticed you mention the window seats in a lot of those older brick and stone homes. I used to do a lot of renovating on old homes in my younger days and found most of those window seats were used as storage and most of them you could lift the seat up and some times it would surprise you what you could find. You might want to check them out in your future filming. I really enjoy your videos. Keep it up. Tom

Another great one! Nice old house that I try to imagine how it looked when first built. I was hoping you were going to sneak a peek at the top floors stairs. The only good thing about this house being abandoned is the birds have a nice place to stay! 🏚️ 😊

Wow wow wow! Natural and beautiful decay - no vandalism. Amazing. So many heating sources around you yet no heat! That was a coal chute at the bottom of those stairs off the porch. Claw foot tubs, corner sink on first floor bathroom and toilet bowl sitting in the attic date back to 1920s or before. Definitely some 70s renovations in the kitchens and the 2 other toilets, but nothing newer than that. That house has been sitting abandoned for many years. Unbelievable home. Such a shame she’s left to rot but thankful vandals haven’t gotten to her. Much respect to these grand old homes.

Nice find Kappy. As always, it's a real shame that in this country, historical buildings aren't put on a protected list by the government, like in other countries such the UK. Goes to show that our government is getting more worthless by the day and do not have real priorities in order (as with all things that really matter). They'd as soon cancel all historical facts, buildings & monuments. Makes me really angry! 🤬

On the third floor , the round metal object was a very old bathtub. They were usually for children . On the main floor , in the formal dining room the radiator had two metal doors in front , that was a warming oven to keep food hot from hot water circulating through radiator. They were very useful. They are not seen often in the USA, but were common in chateaus in France . They are so useful.

I thought the organ looked so Baroque but that gothic look was how they looked in the Victorian times? I have only gotten to see one in real life and that was at Bodie state park in the church there. Kappy have you ever visited Bodie ghost town? Would love to know what you thought of it. Would be so cool if you filmed it for KZbin!! Love your videos!

The round metal thing in the last section of the upstairs was a portable bathtub probably used by the servants. They would stand or crouch with a pitcher of water and probably tallow soap, and wash the dust off before changing or sleeping. They usually kept them at the foot of the bed, but it could be brought outside to the stables, or the field, anywhere it was needed. They were very common at one time, but they're getting harder to find.
